Money/currency

Should they exist? On one hand, we have world hunger, homelessness, unemployment, poverty, and the third world solved, on the negative, terrorists can make weapons for free all the time. Debate, I'll pop in later with my opinion.

Er...don't get what you mean....I am pro currency but how would people be less poor or how could terrorists make weapons for free.

Free houses and food.

The terrorists could access the tools needed to make weapons easier without having to pay for it.

Currency is as important as having an established government. I mean, without actual coin, like you said, virtually everything would be free, there would be no need for jobs, and that's just the beginning...

What kind of misconception is that...if there was no currency why should everything be free?....makes no sense...who pays for it?....why should terrorists get tols for weapons....

If there was non currency there would be trade nothing else...or are you talking aboot communistic ideass no currency everyone can have what they want (although this of course is n ot possible) but even if it is a bad idea to many people, and it would stop the advance of Humankind.

I've got sort of a mixed opinion, it would definatley have high pros and cons, society and people would become lasy and fat like Don Vito, and there's a higher chance of getting blown up, but, the people who would blow you up would have little reason to, 9/11 happened because it affected economy.

How so would it stop advance? Advance would be rather rapid, free reasearch, cures for diseases, breakthroughs in technology etc.

But by discovering cures, technology etc. You're not working for anyone. Taking away currency wouldn't get rid of charitable ppl.

let's make anarchy 😄

Not much of an Economist but I don't think you can establish trade without currency. So I guess is necessary.

Without currency nothing would exist, since no one would have any reason to do anything.

No one would build houses, no one would build cars, no one would have jobs, everyoen would just sit in a field all day masterbating.

Yes, but it's not for everyone. 😛

The world could be a much better place without money, but the problem is getting the whole population to work toward the betterment of mankind. The focus would have to be changed.

There are not very many charitable people and over a few generations we would get rid of them if we dont use education as a form to change peoples minds.

I agree it could the...but not under these circumstances.
There are to many of us and we would need people to work because people that get everything for feree surely won't

One of the biggest challanges of Communism... motivating people to work when there is no reward. Money makes a bit of a balance, everything costs money, in order to get money one must work, kind of a big old circle.

But then again once upon a time people used barter, although that wouldn't work today.
